Audio-Technica ATUC-IRCU Infrared Control Unit

What is the Audio-Technica ATUC-IRCU Infrared Control Unit?
The Audio-Technica ATUC-IRCU Infrared Control Unit is a sophisticated 19" rack-mountable device designed to enhance conference room communications. This unit supports both infrared and wired discussion systems and features advanced 24-bit/48 kHz digital signal processing. With functionalities such as a 12-band feedback suppressor, automated gain control, and individual mic gain and EQ adjustments, this control unit ensures high-quality audio management for up to 200 discussion units.

Flexible Conference Management
This versatile control unit offers three selectable conference modes—Free Talk, Request to Talk, and Full Remote—allowing customization according to the needs of the meeting environment. Each mode provides different levels of interaction and control, facilitating effective communication and management of discussions. Additionally, various override settings enable priority speaking rights, ensuring that key speakers can be heard in any situation.

Secure and Reliable Infrared Transmission
Unlike typical UHF systems that can transmit through walls and pose security risks, the ATUC-IRCU uses infrared technology to contain the communication within the confines of the room. This feature prevents any potential information leakage, making it ideal for sensitive meetings. Additionally, infrared transmission eliminates the need for frequency coordination, simplifying the setup and reducing potential interference.

Recording Capabilities
The ATUC-IRCU not only manages discussions but also records them. It features a built-in recorder that supports both WAV and MP3 formats, allowing for easy archival and retrieval of audio files directly onto a USB mass storage device. This functionality is perfect for keeping a record of meetings and ensuring that important details are not lost.

Connectivity and Integration
Ease of integration is a key feature of the ATUC-IRCU. It can be controlled locally or via a Web Remote interface without the need for additional software, and it is compatible with third-party IP control systems. The unit includes two Mic/Line inputs, two AUX inputs, and two interpretation return inputs, offering ample connectivity options for both wired and wireless setups.
